Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning (MERL) Policy and Standards
Monitoring, evaluation, research and learning (MERL) are all vital to the ambition of Plan International's global strategy. These documents define the MERL standards we commit to follow and their importance to the organisation's work.
MERL underpins Plan International’s delivery of effective and accountable gender-transformative programmes and influencing.
The MERL standards document defines the standards that Plan International commits to follow within each step of our MERL work. It outlines 5 standards, each with multiple indicators which enable assessment of progress towards that standard.
The global Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning Policy is derived from the Programme and Influencing Quality Policy, and articulates the importance of MERL to Plan International, defines each of the 4 components and outlines the approach that we will take.
